Join us at CES 2026

Location Las Vegas, NV
Date Jan 6 – Jan 9, 2026

The world doesn’t wait for growth, and neither do we.

At DEPT®, we help brands invent what’s next at the intersection of marketing, technology, and AI. Join us at CES 2026 as we bring our Growth Invention philosophy to life through a half-day program of forward-thinking sessions, curated tours of the show floor, and an exclusive VIP dinner.

From the latest in agentic AI to the creative systems powering tomorrow’s experiences, we’ll explore how businesses can grow faster than the market, and design the future instead of reacting to it.

The registrations for this event are now closed.
